Unless a bag instructs you to do otherwise, it's something that just needs to be done to avoid any unwanted illnesses. This is where the humble salad spinner steps in, and luckily for us, there's one brand that continues to deliver the most user-friendly versions: OXO."
"OXO not only makes some of the best salad spinners, according to online reviews, but the brand actually completely reinvented the tool back in 1998. Before that, you had to pull a string to activate the spinning motion, an act that seemed cumbersome and unnecessary to the engineers at OXO. So, taking inspiration from a classic child's toy, the iconic brand created the first pump-activated salad spinner."
"Interestingly, OXO was founded in 1990 by Sam Farber with the goal of making a vegetable peeler that would be easier for his wife (who had arthritis) to use. The release of the improved salad spinner a few years later was a big step for the company - and it ended up changing the way the tools were made forever."
OXO reinvented the salad spinner in 1998 by replacing the pull-string with a pump-activated mechanism inspired by a child's toy, improving user convenience. The brand was founded in 1990 by Sam Farber to create an easier-to-use vegetable peeler for his wife, who had arthritis. OXO continued innovating the spinner by redesigning the basket to prevent leaves from sticking and adding a clear, easy-to-clean lid. The current design features a flat top lid for simple storage, a non-slip base for one-handed use, a brake system to stop the basket quickly, and a spacious basket exceeding six quarts. OXO remains a market leader and is consistently ranked among the best brands for salad spinners.
